I really really liked Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit. Especially the cast of characters! Jaye Robin Brown knows how to write group of friends and family and love. I had such a fun time while reading this book and seriously, didn't want anything to end.


- A big part of this book is about religion and faith and belief. And you can see two sides of the coin in this book: Jo's family and her new stepmom's family.

- Jo (the MC) has a deal with her dad. And when they move to the new town, she needs to hide that she likes girls. Of course, then she meets Mary Carlson and everything comes crashing down.

- Family support and A+ friendships.

- Flirtinggggg I can't wait to get my own copy because 1) that cover is my favorite thing in the world, it's so damn cute, 2) this story is incredible and will forever be with me in my heart.

I can't wait to recommend this book to every single person (yes yes yes)

Jaye Robin Brown, or Jro to her friends, lives and writes in the mountains north of Asheville, North Carolina. She's in awe of magic and beauty, and is a stalwart champion for the underdog, both human and other. When she's not writing, you can find her in the art room of the high school where she teaches, or on her small farm hanging out with her dogs, cats, and horses.

So one of my big loves in liiiiiife is... not food sadly. (But close) It's MANGA. If you do not know what a manga is, Wikipedia help me out please:

"Manga are comics created in Japan or by creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century."

So basically they're Japanese comics and they are amazing. Well some of them are and I just had this (crazy) idea to create a rec list with my All Time Faves. These are the ones I reread 24/7. I'm always back to them at one point. They are GOOD; let it be in characters, plot, art (very important to me hehe!) and overall the whole story.


Title: TOKYO GHOUL
Genre: Horror, Mystery, Psychological, Supernatural
Rating: 10/10
Chapters: 144

Summary:
Strange murders are happening in Tokyo. Due to liquid evidence at the scene, the police conclude the attacks are the result of 'EATER' type ghouls. College buddies Kaneki and Hide come up with the idea that ghouls are imitatins humans so that's why they haven't ever seen one. Little did they knnow that their theory may very well become reality.

Why you should pick it up:
✧ Cannibals aka ghouls
✧ Kaneki Ken the MC is the purest soul in the world and his story is a tragedy and he says it to you since the very first chapter
✧ All the characters this story has, you will care for them and even though some are evil you WILL CARE FOR THEM
✧ There is a sequel (Tokyo Ghoul: RE) and it's the best thing in the world. And Kaneki's story is one of my fave character developments but also transformations and everyone should experience this.
✧ The art is beautiful, the story is heartbreaking but also really good and amazing.
✧ It has gore and other trigger warning. So if you're uncomfortable with blood and insects and creepy things like eyes, this is not for you.

Hi, guys! Sil here. Yesterday in the Twitter Universe, I saw great Alisha Rai and Courtney Milan getting these tweets because they spoke about this article in Culturess called Sports-Themed Romance Novels: Two Great Tastes... and that article is great + it talks about the lack of diversity in regard of the MCs or secondary characters in sports romances.

So of course, I had to talk a bit about this because IT IS SO TRUE. I wrote a super long thread saying why it is impossible writing all-white sports teams when in REAL LIFE there is nothing like that.

I am tired of finding a sports romance and it sounds good but the cast is all white? It's impossible for a sports team especially football+

 You can click the tweet and it will lead you to my thread where I also talk about various sports (tennis, F1, football, and more).

I decided to make a list of books with POC as MC/LIs in sports romances/New Adults! You know I love doing rec lists and it's a joy to me doing them. I also find out about more books while doing the lists and it's a win win!
